Quilt for Dan and Chelsee

This is the quilt I made for my cousin Dan and his new wife Chelsee. It was mostly a present for the wedding but also for Chelsee's birthday. I love all the polka dots!

A Childhood favorite

I was in the store the other day and found this on DVD! Yes, it's THE RELUCTANT DRAGON!

Cindy & Kelty came over and watched it with me. Cindy could still quote most of the show:) The sad part was Morris the Midget Moose was not on this DVD. But I found it on you-tube.

James' New Toy

The Proud Owner

The Bike

So, James has finally purchased a motorcycle. It's a Honda, used but in excellent condition. Now instead of hearing about how much he wants a motorcycle, and its usefulness (gas savings) I hear about the weather and how its been too rainy to ride to work or after work. So, I'm hoping for some sunny weather so James can ride to his hearts content.

Please note: James does have a helmet (not a spear and magic helmet) but a motorcycle helmet that he uses whenever he rides. James was a great spot to pose for these pictures.

Spring Dresses

Another one of my latest projects has been to make Spring/Easter dresses for the girls. Hallie & Kayleigh got their dresses before Easter & Kelty had to wait until Mom &Dad went down to Mexico.

Guess which dress is for who!

I also sent the kids some Easter treats & little toys. Hallie enjoyed the Jelly Beans & the little plastic carrot they came in. Kayleigh preferred to dump the Jelly Beans on the floor and ask Julie to help her clean them up & put them back in the carrot. I'm planning to post pictures of the girls in the dresses, but am waiting for a picture of Kayleigh & Kelty.

The Science Center

I took Julie and the kids to the Science Centre, we spent most of our time in WOW Town. Kayleigh loved the grocery store and spent most of her time playing there. She also enjoyed the water table and spent a fair bit of time at it. Johnathan had a great time, he was smiley the whole time and was happy to sit and crawl in the toddler play area.

We bought lunch at the Science Center and Kayleigh wanted a Slurpee for lunch, she also had a hot dog. During lunch there was a demonstration of the G-Force bike that goes upside down in a ring. Kayleigh was quite fascinated with this. Jonathan was more interested in lunch:)

A good time was had by all.

This was the best shot I could get as Hallie was running around all over the house. Mom and I es went down to Utah at the end of March to get her car, and visit with the Bissetts. I was able to take the Easter Present down to them. A Dress for Hallie and treats & fun stuff that was for Hallie, but may have been more fun for Becky & Chris. You can see proof of this on their facebook pages.
